SUSS Emergency Preparedness Programme aims to equip students with an understanding of the risk management process, and the skills and tools for risk mitigation when conducting any local and overseas field trips.

Students are required to read the SUSS Emergency Management System (EMS) Guide for Field Trips and complete/pass an online Risk Analysis and Management System (RAMS) quiz before embarking on any of the following SUSS Programmes:

• Experiential Teambuilding Programme (ETB)*
• Overseas Experiential Learning & Global Learning Programmes
• Overseas Summer School
• Local/ and Overseas Work Attachment
• Overseas Exchange Programmes
• Overseas Competitions or Challenges
• Any other overseas programmes endorsed or organized by SUSS

The online quiz is designed to:

• Familiarise students with SUSS Emergency Management System (EMS)
• Equip students with basic skills and knowledge to identify potential risks associated with their overseas travel
• Raise student's awareness in the mitigating strategies to reduce risk

The EMS guide is a useful resource to help prepare for your field trips. A copy of the EMS guide can be downloaded here. Students who have yet to complete the online RAMS Quiz and require it for overseas travel or Work Attachment, please email to Student Life. 

*The Online RAMS Quiz has been integrated as a learning objective with the Experiential Teambuilding Programme (ETB). All students who have attended and achieved a PASS on any ETB course would have PASSED the Online RAMS Quiz.

Advanced RAMS Workshop

The main objective of the Advanced RAMS Workshop is to raise students’ risk assessment skills to an advanced level. Through case studies review and scenario-based training, students will be able to practice risk assessment and heighten their senses for risk identification.

The workshop will cover the following areas:

• Overview of RAMS principles
• Advanced and additional insights into RAMS
• Connecting the thinking processes to the proposal and reporting systems
• Case studies and application

This workshop runs twice a year and student leaders involved in leading and organising school activities will be invited to partake. Students who are not currently involved in an Advocacy Group/Competition Group/Interest Group are to submit their request to Student Life to take part in the training. 

E-modules are available via Canvas to deepen student's awareness on topics related to safety such as understanding risks and Emergency management system (EMS), Drugs and Harassment.

Full-time students complete these modules as part of the Student Teambuilding Programme. Additionally, the e-module on Understanding and Managing Harassment is offered to all SUSS students. Students may log in to Canvas to access this module.

Students who require safety or security advice when planning events and activities can email to Student Life at ost@suss.edu.sg.
